    Donald Drumpf Throws Tantrum, Film At Eleven

    March 1, 2016 - By 

    First of all, just because of the best damn Chrome extension since ever, I’m using Chrome. Second of all, Drumpf threw another tantrum. Again? But because of that extension, I am pleased to quote: Donald Drumpf is throwing a tantrum and threatening to run as a third-party candidate for president because the Republican Party and Marco Rubio are being mean to him. I’m more and more convinced that he’s tapped Christie as his most likely VP choice and exit strategy. He shakes things up, gets bored or mad, and quits after being nominated (or God help us, elected) and Christie…

    NPR Listeners Comfort A Dying Man Who Tried To Stop The Challenger Disaster

    February 27, 2016 - By 

    David and I listened to this follow up story Thursday on the retired Thiokol engineer who tried to stop the Challenger disaster, and had a parking lot moment of our own. We were meeting Dad and Linda (my father-in-law Sheldon and Shel’s girlfriend Linda) for dinner. As the story ended, we listened, pausing before getting out of the car. NPR listeners evidently had their own driveway or parking lot moments, and responded quickly to the original story. It’s nice to report so many acts of kindness to try to comfort a dying man. After NPR reported Bob Ebeling’s story on…

    One Term Wonder Joe Walsh: Who’s The Ass Again?

    February 19, 2016 - By 

    So glad this guy got booted out after just one term, and now the IL-08 district is reliably blue. Why is it that when Dems leave office, they disappear? When Republicans get bounced, they go on talk shows or create their own. Joe Walsh, a radical Tea Party congressman who was voted out of office after one term amid a variety of financial problems and has since become a right-wing radio host, is none too pleased about Presi Source: Former Rep. Joe Walsh: Obama Is An ‘Arrogant, Immature, Anti-American Ass!’

    Moving On From Picasa? WTH, Google?

    February 14, 2016 - By 

    Goddamit, Google, not again. You’re retiring yet another essential productivity tool!! Since the launch of Google Photos, we’ve had a lot of questions around what this means for the future of Picasa. After much thought and consideration, we’ve decided to retire Picasa over the coming months in order to focus entirely on a single photo service in Google Photos. We believe we can create a much better experience by focusing on one service that provides more functionality and works across mobile and desktop, rather than divide our efforts across two different products.
